Was thinking of tempting Alan, as he's almost finished his new Barge project already, and its only been on the road 1 day, he must need another!!😀👍

A 1988 motor car would be a bit late for me, it would not qualify for the free tax until 2029 (and being a tightwad I really dislike paying tax for too long).

From the listing :

The car sits on 760 GLT 15” Alloys.

No, it doesn't. The spare is a 760GLT alloy, the others are 940 Pholus alloys.

Also the boot and bonnet don't seem to fit well, both seem to sit proud and there seems to be a crease in the drivers front wing on the trailing edge just ahead of the drivers door. No doubt there are other inconsistencies that could be found during viewing and for me, that calls the whole car into question.

Ah! I thought the wheels looked familiar. Pholus of course, but they have the centre caps missing (which is a pity). I think the Pholus wheels look fine on a 140 (although they would be better with the hubcaps) - but I would say that.

I didn't notice the other faults - so £6,000 ought to be plenty to buy that motor car.

I like that one. If I didn't have too many motor cars I'd buy it.
